careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two

29 down in 25 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale, ill dig out the number
well done
coming back after 12 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
still here at month 14
my knees stopped hurting around 4 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
good bp move
i nearly quit too
coming back to this i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
brilliant a1c
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
months not weeks
the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going
kept 9 of it off for 20 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
i was down 28 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure

m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
genuine question honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
slightly off topic but what non scale thing surprised you most
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
does the room want the numbers or just the story
is there a point where you stop weighing daily
